I built Avatar Cropper to help users frame perfect avatars without sending photos to a server.

It runs 100% in your browser for maximum privacy.

The tool now supports fetching images via URL, applying filters, and works offline. It is free, open-source, and requires no signup.

I got tired of uploading my personal photos to random servers just to crop a Discord avatar. Simple tasks shouldn't cost privacy. I built this over a weekend using the Canvas API to ensure everything stays client-side. It’s lightweight, requires no backend for image processing, and solves the hassle of 'upload to crop' tools. Hope you find it useful!
